Pale gold with copper highlights, and a watery sheen (13% ABV). The nose has medium intensity aromas of peach, orange blossom, Brazil nut skin, lanolin, sea spray, iodine, and white grapefruit pith. The palate is dry, with high acidity, and a full body. There’s a waxiness to the texture- it’s an interesting dichotomy of high acidity that normally pierces, against the full bodied, waxy mouth coating sensation I am getting. It’s a touch bitter from the skin contact but I get the grapefruit pith and fruit, saline, peach, orange blossom, and a hint of nutty skin. The finish is quite tart and refreshing, easing up on the heaviness I initially got. It lasts a medium length. Overall this is a delightful wine that I paid $23 for. It gets 91 points and 5 stars. We are baking Salmon with a lemon caper butter and rice to pair. Drink till 2030. Salut….
